Chapter 561


    “Wait. Mr. Hayes, I heard that your wife used to work in the finance industry. How about we let her in on


    this? Maybe she can offer us some insights and suggestions?”


    Sasha was stunned. She didn’t expect anyone to stop her and invite her to join a meeting that seemed


    rather important.


    Me? Joining them? How can that work? I am not a part of thispany, and the projects Hayes


    Corporation invests in are valued at over ten billion. If I make a mistake, I will cause my husband to


    lose a fortune.


    Sasha instinctively wanted to reject that offer.


    Unfortunately, the man sitting behind the desk was amused and was smiling at her. He nodded and


    replied, “That sounds fantastic. Sasha, you can sit there.”


    Sasha was speechless.


    She had no choice but to shoot an angry re at the guy before she walked over and sat beside the


    top managers.


    The managers, however, handed her a thick proposal after she sat down.


    “Here’s the gist of it, Mrs. Hayes. Thepany recently bought a piece ofnd in an auction. Thend


    is rather vast and we can build houses and apartments on it. Our problem is this if we build everything


    and its surroundings remain undeveloped, then the prices of real estate will be stagnant, and we won’t


    be able to attract many buyers.”


    One of the managers gave Sasha the cliff’s note version of what was going on.


    Projects like those were prettymon for apany like Hayes Corporation.


    Yet, they asked me to stay here for the meeting. Why? Did they really encounter something they can’t


    solve? Or are they just curious about how brainy Mrs. Hayes actually is?


    Sasha flipped through the thick documents she had with her. A momentter, she replied calmly, “This


    is not a good ce to build a residential area at all.”


    “Huh?” blurted someone. The top managers instantly looked surprised.


    “Why would you think that, Mrs. Hayes?”


    “That’s simple. Thend is located in an old manufacturing district. The government may have made


    new ns to build more facilities in its surroundings; the previous facilities surrounding that piece of


    land were chemical factories.”


    “So?”


    “So it’s obvious, isn’t it? Those chemical factories had been operating for years, so the chemical waste


    had already polluted its surroundings. Who would live in a ce like that? What do we do if something


    bad happens? Can thepany afford topensate everyone?”


    All it took was a few words from Sasha to shut everyone up.


    Most employees working there were aware of all that.


    However, it was impressive that Sasha, who had never worked in the office or learned anything about


    the project, made that discovery within a few minutes.


    They couldn’t deny that Sasha was truly something else.


    “Well then, what do you think we should do with this piece ofnd?”


    “Let’s do somethingmercial. We already have a lot of shopping malls in Avenport though, so we


    should look into importing foreign products to attract clients. Maybe something like duty-free outlet


    stores?”


    “Huh?”


    Those words truly shook the top managers to their cores.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    She actually suggested setting up duty-free outlet stores? My gosh, that brain of hers is truly something


    else.


    We have been discussing the matter for so long, but we can’te up with any solution. I can’t believe


    that Mrs. Hayes managed to solve this issue so quickly.


    Everyone started looking at Sasha differently.


    “Mr. Hayes, your wife is truly incredible. I can’t believe that we never thought of something like that.


    Also, who would’ve thought that we have an expert like this right under our noses?”


    “Exactly. Mrs. Hayes, we heard that you used to work in the finance industry. Where are you working


    now?”


    “Huh?”


    Sasha was a little troubled, so she shot a look at the man sitting opposite of her.


    She didn’t want to let others know that she used to work at Wall Street. They will probably skin me alive


    if they figure it out.


    Sebastian raised his brows.


    He had been enjoying the show from the side, but he stood up from his chair at that moment and


    walked over.


    “If everyone’s okay with it, then do as my wife suggested.”


    “What?” blurted Sasha, who was surprised once more.


    Isn’t that a little impulsive? All I did was share my opinion. They’re going to spend billions on that one


    suggestion?


    “Sebby, that’s…”


    “Yes, we’re definitely okay with it. I think Mrs. Hayes’ suggestion is amazing.”


    “I think so too, but I think we’ll have to get some otherrge corporations to set up shop on ournd. I


    heard that those corporations have high expectations, so there’s no saying if they would do that,” said


    another top manager, who pointed out the issue that came with that proposal.


    Sasha has been listening on the side. She didn’t even think about it before she blurted, “Why bother


    getting them to set up shop on ournd? We can just coborate with them and focus on getting them


    hooked. That will cause a slight dy before we get our profit, but it’ll still be in our pockets eventually,


    right?”


    No one spoke.


    It was pin-drop silence.


    The office became so quiet that it felt like someone had pushed the mute button and shut everyone up


    within a second.


    Even Sebastian couldn’t speak.


    Sasha didn’t know what to do about that.


    Shoot, did I say something wrong? Was that too cruel? Yeah, I guess I was borderline conning the


    large corporations…


    Sasha stood up right away and approached her husband carefully before saying, “Sebby, d-don’t be


    mad, okay? I was just bullsh*tting.”
